Guidance and Best Practices for Implementing the New Bullying Statute

Public Act 11-232, An Act Concerning the Strengthening of School Bullying Laws, made significant changes in Connecticut's bullying statute, Conn. Gen. Stat. 10-222d. As revised, the new statute expands the definition of bullying and imposes significant new responsibilities on school personnel. In response to frequent questions regarding this new law, Shipman & Goodwin LLP's School Law Group has developed further guidance to assist school districts in understanding some of these new changes, and to address some of the challeges in implementing the revised statute.
